To end a Canvas course, you can put an end-date in the course details area. To do this:

Go to your course's Settings page

Click on

Where it says Ends:, type in the date (and time, if you want to be even more specific) you would like the course to end. You can also click on to visually select a date for when the course should end.

Removing Access to Sections of your Course

If you would like to remove access to certain parts of your Canvas course:

Note: Students will still be able to access any content available in these sections if they are available on the course homepage. To prevent this change the course homepage to "a Page I'll Design Myself"(using our tutorial on changing the homepage layout) and leave the page blank.

Go to your course's Settings page

Click on the Navigation tab found along the top of the Settings page

You will see two lists:

The top list are pages that are accessible to your students

The bottom list are pages that are inaccessible to your students

Dragging pages from the top list to the bottom list will make your page(s) inaccessible. These pages will be grayed out, illustrating that they cannot be accessed anymore.
